Area basketball: Coahoma, Forsan, Stanton girls begin district play today

Big Spring boys
Greenwood avenged a loss to Big Spring in Andrews, so the Steers will look to get back on track with a win at Abilene Cooper at 7:30 p.m. today. Luke Adams is gaining a reputation as the Steers’ go-to player. Head coach Cliff Thompson said opponents are starting to key in on Adams. The senior and Tristain Clay have led Big Spring in scoring so far this season.

Big Spring girls
Head coach Mike Warren and the Lady Steers are at home against Pecos at 7:30 p.m. today in Steer Gym. Pecos may have a hard time handling Cerbi Ritchey in the post. The junior, along with Diamond Mayes, has been tough to slow down lately. Add Mackenzie Stone’s ability to shoot from the 3-point line and the Lady Steers have a dangerous combination. Big Spring is 7-2 on the season.

Coahoma girls
Fresh off a win over Iraan in the tournament at Crane, the Coahoma Bulldogettes begin District 3-2A play against Denver City at 6 p.m. today in Denver City.

Ambra Hill has been a mainstay in the backcourt, but Morgan Forshee, Shelby Roemer and Miranda Park have been key as well.
